Square Enix have just registered a domain name for FF13 2.

A domain name for Final Fantasy XIII-2 has been registered, it has been revealed.

The web address was issued by a company who previously registered domains for several Square Enix properties, according to UFFSite.net.

It is speculated that an announcement could be made at the firm's Japanese showcase next week.

Last year Square Enix refused to rule out the possibility of a direct sequel to the game.

ff13 is mediocre, at best. very linear and very boring. i still don't understand why nobody noticed that during development.

why, of all games, do the sequel to that one?
 
Because like X, it's mediocre, at best. Very linear, and very boring.*

You said it yourself.


*Actually, I'm a huge fan of CTB and the pared-down battle system. But I couldn't resist a pop at X's 'hold forward, win game' trappings
 
I loved the story in XIII, and I loved the battle system. If they can make a sequel that's less linear, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.
 
People with your opinion are the minority
From a objective point of view, ff13 wasn't good.
Not anywhere near good.

This.

This time they shouldn't run into the problems that they had before. With the original FF13, they didn't communicate with each other, so they didn't decide on a lot of things until 2009 when they released the demo.

People complain that FF13 was Linear, but so was FFX, and nobody complains about that.
 
I for one, loved XIII.

I don't really care for the lack of exploration.

I usually play jrpg's for their stories and having it on rails certainly allows a company to control its story very well.

And FFXIII's story was very good.  It's battle system too.  So I loved the game.

On the opposite, hated FFXII.  Too much sidequesting that ended up watering down the story.  And the fact that the story became crap as soon as we entered that king's tomb didn't help.

Everyone on this whole damn forum complains about X, which I think is a shame because personally I don't see anything wrong with it at all, and I certainly don't see how it's linear in any sense of the word.
 
lmao, squareenix are killing this franchise.  XIII was a dumbed down piece of rubbish, and now they make YET ANOTHER sequel.  How many more cash ins can this company possibly sustain?

Who remembers the time when we got 1 good FF game every so often?  Now we have spin offs all over the place.  FFX was a great game, FFX-2 was a joke.  This will carry on so long as the fickle fanbase provide revenue.

Personally I will not buy another FF game or any SEnix game until they have changed their ways.  Which may be never.  Not to mention I sold my PS3 anyway on the back of all these lousy graphic fests.

Don't be so fast to judge here. XIII-2 could be an attempt to solve XIII's biggest flaws. It could also be a new name for Versus XIII. We really don't know yet.

Of course, it could also be a piece of crap about pop singers wandering around doing nothing. We just have to wait and see.
 
No.  The mindset is completely wrong.  I will have nothing to do with it :)
 
lol FF have been a £$€ machine for a long time. When the last, "true", FF was is a matter of opinion, but one must be ignorant to not see the $) in sqeenix's face the latest 10 years.
 
off topic, but speaking of squeenix... did anyone else hear they have the rights to the newest incarnation of the deus ex franchise

*cries*

previews look awesome....but so did the previews for deus ex 2 and 90% of the game turned out to be a snooze fest

actually eidos has the rights to deus ex since they were t5he original ip creators.

se bought them out a year or 2 ago.

It's actually being developped in Montreal and the previews look awesome but last time I saw a preview, it was all CG which is worrying.
 
This topic could be renamed intio "horrible news for the gaming scene"
or rather "horrible news for people with taste"
fits too.
FF13 was bad. as for people asking how FF10 was linear...
seriously?
You basically go in a straight line from one map to another, like in FF13. I dont remember all of it but it was
go through area 10 -> reach area 11 -> reach area 12 -> reach area 13
and so on. some stuff like the silent plains had the extra cave with yojimbo but thats about it. The actual story is as linear as a goddamn arrow.
 
Bought Xbox 360 for FFXIII. Waited two years for FFXIII. Got FFXIII just after the release. Never played FXIII....

Again, I point out that this could just as easily be a solution to most of XIII's problems, rather than a rehash of them. Admittedly, a number of people didn't like the story or characters (understandably so, since Lightning and Hope were both whiny bitches, though I personally liked the story anyway), but the battle system was stellar, and if XIII-2 manages to fix the linearity (which should be more feasible than it was the first time around for various reasons) then I'll be all over it.

I'm reserving judgment until the thing's actually out. I don't have particularly high hopes for it, but I"m not going to assume it's bad either.
 
This might just be Square's way of making up for the problems in the original FF13.

Besides, they've only bought a Domain name. They may cancel the project altogether. Square are having a conference on Tuesday, so we might get an official announcement.

FFX-2 was a profit despite how terrible it was. At least that's what I recall.
And as opposed to 'lol square will fix it to make it a good game'
the scenario of
'square is going to launch a sequel to ride on the fanboy sales because people will buy anything as long as final fantasy is written on it'

my bet lies in slaughtering the horse, making some profit and then going back to making games that will make them even richer
